Home Fire Safety & Prevention

Why Home Fire Preparedness?

Because every day in the United States, 7 people die as a result of a home fire. In fact, if a fire starts in your home, you may have just two minutes to escape.

The most effective way to protect yourself and your home from fire is to identify and remove fire hazards. 60 percent of house fire deaths occur in homes with no working smoke alarms. During a home fire, working smoke alarms and a fire escape plan that has been practiced regularly can save lives.
